Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- 3 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken 5‑7 minutes per side until golden brown; then remove and set aside.
- Add the baby potatoes to the same skillet and cook, stirring, until softened, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Italian seasoning; simmer until the sauce thickens.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and simmer 15‑20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
- Serve hot, optionally with a green salad or crusty bread.
Notes
- For a lighter sauce
- replace half of the heavy cream with low‑fat milk. Fresh herbs added at the end brighten the dish. Leftovers reheat well on the stovetop.
